I can't reproduce on my machine. Anyway, what's the suggested fix? Distinguish between left and right Alt for the purpose of MM shortcuts?

Best Solution would be that HotKeys are dissabled when MM enters direct Edit Mode like in Attached picture. That Way we will solve issue with single key HotKeys. Separating ALT keys is not long term solution as it can make problems in future.

Generally speaking I agree. However, there are some shortcuts users could like (and I'm sure that they _do_ like) to use even in edit mode, e.g. playback controlling shortcuts (Play/Pause, Next, Stop, Volume Up/Down, etc.).

Shortcuts for media are tide to "MEDIA_*" Events and they do not interfere with Regular Shortcut keys.

If a user without special media keys maps e.g. Ctrl+P to Play/Pause in MM, he would like it to work even in the edit mode. This isn't related to how multimedia keyboards send their events.

Thats why we have all needed tables and keys that we possibly do/not need to disable.

This should be fixed by 4065.

 This is Different issue than Single Key as RightALT(ALTGr)+5 is detected as hotkey and not as Single key/char.
Alternative to ALTgr+5 is CTRL+ALT+5 (both left and right combination works in most off applications).

I've uploaded HID Hook Test App to FTP that I used to determine exact codes for solving bug 0002430 where it can be clearly seen that CTRL and ALT keys are detected separately thrum State Flag (upper right corner) taking as notice that if we include HID Hook instead of current hook (as you will see that Example App do not break Edit field but also catches Hotkey) can be solved, currently we can fix that by noting users in our knowledgebase that hotkey special characters can be added with Alternative input CTRL+ALT+<key> instead of ALTgr+<key> unless that alternative hotkey is also assigned.

With recent updates to 0002430 using alternative key combination make this bug obsolete.
